addiNovel Quintett double-pointed needles

A whole new knitting feeling

The addiNovel double pointed needle is characterized by a special feel: The square needles with rounded edges and textured surface ensure perfect ergonomics when knitting, even under high demands. This means that even knitting lovers with osteoarthritis or other disorders of the hands and muscles are getting to enjoy knitting, because the new needles fit snugly in the hand and can be held effortlessly.

During knitting, the combination of square, smooth and structured needles feels like a small massage for fingers and hands. This stimulates blood circulation and reduces tension, even when knitting for several hours.

"Unusual at first. I quickly got used to it and found it pleasant and massaging ... Normally my fingers ache after a while. That didn't happen on this occasion."

Extra feine Lace-Spitzen

Die extra feinen Lace-Spitzen sind ideal geeignet auch für feine Garne und Muster. Die kleinen Hügelchen auf der Nadel sorgen beim Stricken von Mustern mit Umschlägen dafür, dass diese nicht so schnell und unbeabsichtigt von der Nadel gleiten. Außerdem ist die lang zulaufende Spitzenform geeignet, viele Maschen bequem auf einmal zusammen zu stricken.

Ideal für feste Strickerinnen, Toe-Up Socken mit vielen Zunahmen und viele weitere anspruchsvolle Techniken.

The size of the needle

The following applies to all addi needles: The diagonal of the cross section is decisive for the needle size specification. Sounds complicated? But it is quite simple: If we were to cut through the addiNovel, we would have a square in front of us. The needle size corresponds to the diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner. So the addiNovel with 3,5 mm needle size have a diagonal of 3,5 mm.

Our addiCalibro wooden needle gauge set now allows you to measure the Novel gauge directly in the square recesses, but measuring is also no problem with a needle gauge with round recesses: To do this, insert the tip of the addiNovel into a hole of the needle size. If the tip of the needle fits into the hole of the needle gauge up to the first knop pattern, this is the correct size.

Tip: If you knit very loosely or very tightly on average, the perfectly smooth surface of the needles ensures that the stitches glide perfectly, and at the same time the structure prevents the needle from slipping out of the knitted piece unintentionally. For particularly tight knitters, we rather recommend needles with round tips without a pronounced structure, as otherwise the stitches will not glide ideally over the needle.

"The Novel are my absolute favourites. They don't even make my fingers hurt during a knitting marathon."
